Dear Subscriber,

My long September trip is done. I'm home, minus one Dodge Caravan (which died between Albuquerque and Plano) but full up with new experiences and nicely padded bank accounts (soon to be depleted towards another van, lol.) Just two weekend trips left to this long string of events, then I get to slow down in October. A fun Paint-Along mid-month will be a nice return to a normal routine!

Midland Septemberfest

Sept 29 - Oct 1, 2023

I'm packing the (rented UHaul) van tomorrow for this coming weekend at the Museum of the Southwest's 54th annual SeptemberFest! I'll have all my latest paintings (mostly not shown in this picture from last year ;) plus a couple of new demos from the August workshop!

Hope you can make it by!
